Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Informed consent obtained before any trial-related activities. Trial-related activities are any procedures that are carried out as part of the trial, including activities to determine suitability for the trial

• Male or female, aged equal to or greater than 18 years at the time of signing informed consent

• Type 1 diabetes mellitus (as diagnosed clinically) 12 months or longer prior to Visit 1 (i.e. screening)

• Treatment with basal bolus or CSII (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, insulin pump) treatment 6 months or longer prior to Visit 1 (i.e. screening)

• Stable insulin treatment 3 months or longer prior to Visit 1 (i.e. screening), as judged and documented by the investigator

• HbA1c 7.0-10.0 percent (Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT)), both inclusive, by central laboratory analysis (Visit 1, screening) corresponding to 53-86 mmol/mol (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC))

Exclusion Criteria:

• Prior use of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist or dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) inhibitors

• Use of any medication, which in the investigator's opinion could interfere with the glycaemic control (e.g. systemic corticosteroids, pramlintide (Symlin®)) or affect the subject's safety. Premix insulin is not allowed

• Known proliferative retinopathy or maculopathy requiring acute treatment

• Severe neuropathy, in particular autonomic neuropathy, i.e. gastroparesis, as judged by the investigator

• Uncontrolled/untreated blood pressure at screening (Visit 1) (after resting for 5 minutes) while sitting greater than 160 mmHg for systolic or greater than 100 mmHg for diastolic (repeated measurement at Visit 2 (prior to performing the trial related activities) is allowed to exclude white-coat hypertension)

• History of acute or chronic pancreatitis

• Screening (Visit 1) calcitonin value equal to or greater than 50 ng/L
